I normally start in the summer. I’m a school teacher so I really do a lot of crafting in the summer. Pinterest helps because I can “pin” some inspiration to do in the fall. I too buy a lot of my Christmas crafting supplies after Christmas. It’s so much cheaper and there are a lot more supplies than in the summer.

I really don’t have astarting point . In my spare time,away frrom my card making, every once in awhile throughout the year I may work on a Christmas project just for a change of pace.
It’s one of those things, when an idea comes to mind, you want to get started and get it made right away, so it’s on going all year long.

Honestly… motivation starts the day after Christmas (when I actually purchased the cards for this year), take a red/green or white/blue break and then liven up the inspiration after Halloween to get in gear for more glitter and Christmas inspiration!

I start Xmas crafting in the summer when my kids are out of school as well as in the late fall and winter months, or when ever we get inspired, This year I have been saving egg cartons and cutting them out and gluing them together to form ornaments. I also have some glass ones to decorate this year as well… Over the summer we will start to decorate them with glitter and bling. They will serve as ornaments for our tree as well as gifts from my kids to various family members. 🙂 I’m sure will also be making some for Halloween because thats also a huge holiday in our home as well. 🙂

Oh wow! I’ve seen the glitter spray but can’t find it anywhere around our little town. We start planning & making Christmas decorations pretty much all year long! If I or my daughter finds an idea, we’ll try it out immediately but if I wait, I’ll forget where I put the instructions!

Golly I had no idea you could spray paint styrofoam. I usually start my Christmas projects mid July – this is when the stores like Hobby Lobby start stocking their shelves. I really should start in January though!

Hi Anne, Before spray painting STYROFOAM Brand Foam, read the paint label carefully to see if it’s safe for foam. Many spray paints contain solvents, and the solvents can eat into the foam. Ditto for spray adhesives. Sharon
